The rename can fail (butonly on allocation failures), leaving things mixed up and hittingthe warning there.\nIgnoring it isn't great, undo the move and let the change failin this case. If undo fails then WARN, then things would againbe stuck in two different network namespaces.\nhttps://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-98424https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/96bef5667b0c4aecb1b850d2343f69b9d684abb9https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/739b7bf3942da4cde8eedb143d01a16ed865d1d7https://git.kernel.org/stable/c/a41bd1938a9bfe226d444172a7e20e4bd5097960#kernel #Linux#CVE_2026_98424#bot", "creation_timestamp": "2026-10-14T18:48:19.249875Z"}]}
